10 Things She Learns From Porn Stars

Women’s magazines slip us the kind of information that we wouldn’t find elsewhere; they reveal a female perspective that most men just aren’t privy to. How they read into our behavior, how they perceive our actions, what their true expectations are… there’s plenty to be learned from a glimpse into the other side.

AskMen.com will be providing you with just this kind of gender intelligence — without the embarrassment that comes with retrieving it from your girlfriend’s magazine rack. We’ll be publishing a series of features from iVillage.com; articles originally written by women for women, but with insight that’s invaluable to men. Of course, in exchange, we had to offer up some intelligence of our own… all the more reason for you to get on the inside track as soon as you can.

porn star secrets

Whether you hate that your guy watches porn or opt to watch it with him, you always wonder about one thing: the mystique of the porn star. She’s everything a good girl doesn’t want to be — except in the bedroom. Wish you could mesmerize your man like his favorite video vixen? Brenda Della Casa, author of Cinderella Was a Liar, has compiled a cheat sheet of porn babes’ best-kept secrets. Once you know what they know, you can try the tricks at home — no over-processed hair or camcorder required. Your man will be putty in your hands, but the biggest payoff? You will end up more satisfied in the process.

1- Show a little enthusiasm

Good-girl approach: Many of us have been taught that sex is not a high priority, so when your guy wants to do the horizontal tango, you make excuses or treat it like another chore on your to-do list.

Porn-babe secret: They enjoy what feels good without reservation — and they show their partners how excited they are by engaging them with their speech and movements. They understand that diving into the sack with someone who isn’t into it is like sharing a “romantic” meal with someone who’s watching television.

Tantalizing tip: Take the initiative! Wake him up with a below-the-belt kiss. Send him a naughty text message midway through the day. In bed, get into the moment by looking into his eyes and telling him how eager you are to be with him.

2- Speak up

Good-girl approach: Your sack sessions hardly leave you invigorated, but you’re scared that any attempt to spice things up will make you seem like a tramp.

Porn-babe secret: Toss the dated worries — liking sex doesn’t make you a hussy; it makes you human. Tell him how much you enjoy it when he kisses that special spot or mention something you’re craving in the heat of the moment. Just asking for something new can be a huge turn-on for both partners.

Tantalizing tip: Pop open a bottle of wine and initiate a little game of truth-or-dare. Or surprise him with a spicy flick and point out the scenes you’d be open to trying. There’s a good chance he’d like to experiment, too, but is keeping it to himself because he doesn’t want to offend you.

3- Love those thighs

Good-girl approach: You hate your hips, your backside is less than baby-smooth, blah, blah, blah.

Porn-babe secret: They know that men love sex — he’s absolutely thrilled when your thighs are wrapped around him, dimples and all. He would never forgo what feels good to accommodate something as silly as a body insecurity or two.

Tantalizing tip: Illuminate the bedroom, living room or even kitchen with candles, which give a soft glow that glides over perceived imperfections. Give him the visualization he craves and get off (pun intended) on the fact that you are the reason for every moan and squirm your man makes.

4- Know thyself

Good-girl approach: You find masturbation embarrassing or shameful, so you rarely try it (and never admit to it when you do).

Porn-babe secret: Make like a seasoned porn babe and figure out what works for you by caressing your thighs, breasts and everything in between. Not knowing what feels good is like taking a cross-country road trip without a map.

Tantalizing tip: If you’re like many gals and the manual approach leaves you feeling less than thrilled, simply find something else to tickle your fancy. After a few solo sessions, bring your man into the action for a steamy one-on-one lesson.

5- Get a new bedtime script

Good-girl approach: Your pillow talk doesn’t get much racier than a few “oh, baby’s” tossed in with a few “you feel so good’s.”

Porn-babe secret: Men are competitive by nature, and they love to know they are the best at whatever it is they’re doing, including you. Porn babes know that just hearing a female verbally tap into the action is enough to make him explode.

Tantalizing tip: Get comfy with the saucy talk by writing down some sexy thoughts and reading them out loud alone a few times. In bed, start small by giving him a play-by-play of the action, telling him what he’s doing to you or asking questions such as, “Do you like it when I [insert verb here] you?”

6- Get a little uncomfortable

Good-girl approach: Your weekend look of sweats and ponytails has become as fun as your weekly date with the treadmill. Sound exciting? Yeah, we didn’t think so.

Porn-babe secret: Men are visual creatures (that’s why porn babes are in business). These gals work this to their advantage and don sexy lingerie and even (gulp!) keep their heels on during the deed, all to enhance the experience.

Tantalizing tip: Slip on a thong underneath your yoga pants or meet him at home in nothing but heels and a great hairdo. Surprising him with something new will show him that he’s worth the effort, which will spark his heart as well as his, um, interest.

7- Come on, gals — fantasize

Good-girl approach: You’d never admit to daydreaming about being intimate with two men or kissing another woman, even if you do — and the thought of your man having a sex dream about Heidi Klum in bed is enough to bring you to tears.

Porn-babe secret: They do things most of us wouldn’t, but the lesson is in their approach, not in their actions. They don’t judge the desires of their partners or take offense at what turns them on. Just because your guy fantasizes about a threesome doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you or even that he would want to participate in one in real life. As long as the boundaries of your relationship are maintained, fantasizing is a healthy aspect of sexuality.

Tantalizing tip: Try verbal exploration. Talk him through a threesome or ask him to pretend he’s a stranger. Sharing these kinds of experiences will not only spark amazing sex, but it will also build trust and intimacy, which is always sexy. Discuss boundaries beforehand (some couples have a code word to signal the other to stop when acting out scenarios) and remember: Comfort is key, so don’t participate in anything that makes you uncomfortable.

8- Get creative with the merchandise

Good-girl approach: You have an idea of what works for your guy, which is why you do it again and again and…

Porn-babe secret: They know their partner has dozens of hot buttons — from his toes to the back of his neck — and that half the fun is finding out what works and what doesn’t.

Tantalizing tip: Gently pinch or bite his nipples or kiss his chest and stroke his stomach gently with your nails. When you go below the belt, pay attention to all parts of the package by gently tracing his scrotum with your tongue or pressing on his perineum (the area between his penis and his anus).

9- Be a little selfish

Good-girl approach: You’re tired and overworked, and you haven’t been to the gym in ages. You’d love to get your hair done and take that spinning class, but you promised you’d run errands for your sister (again).

Porn-babe secret: While good girls are taught to deprive themselves, porn babes make self-maintenance a high priority.

Tantalizing tip: Whether it’s a manicure, a blowout or just slathering on a luxurious cream before bed, do something that makes you feel and look good more than once a month. Feeling like you’re worth the splurge will not only boost your confidence, it will make you glow — and that’s hotter than any bustier on the market.

10- Stop doing favors

Good-girl approach: You perform oral sex as a “gift” for whatever special day or tell him that if he’s good, you’ll let him try a new position.

Porn-babe secret: Sexual desire is not a male-specific attribute, nor is it something that should be rationed. In fact, it’s practically as essential to a full life as food, water and shelter. Porn babes do things they know their partner will enjoy, while asking for what they want in return.

Tantalizing tip: No one wants to feel like they are being manipulated or treated like a charity case, so keep the bureaucracy out of the bedroom. Find out what your partner likes, and as long as you are comfortable with it, give it to him generously. The only “requirement” you should have is that he reciprocate on the same level. His taking out the trash isn’t a reason to give him a blow job — your turning him on is.
